speakers to pair with TEAC bx300

[BrandonB00]

Hi, first post here. I'm new to Vintage gear and wondered if anyone had a suggestion on speakers to pair with a TEAC BX 300. i'm on a very limited budget (hence the teac bx300) but would love to get some nice vintage speakers to go along well with it. I've always liked B&W speakers (currently viewing some DM 12 s and dm570) on craigslist) but from what I read most of them require higher power to drive. Would some older Klipsch perform better with the 35 Wpc that the BX 300 puts out? I currently have two small first generation klipsch quintet satellite speakers hooked up to it and while yes there is sound coming out of them, i'm sure there is a better choice.

My setup is in a small apartment and won't be played at high volume and I won't be adding a subwoofer to the the system.

Thanks!!
Brandon

The BW DM570s are the most efficient of the two. Should work well with 35 watts.

DM570 are a good choice. The Klipsch might get louder but that's not necessarily what you are looking for it seems. The B&W's like most British speakers will sound very good at lower to moderate volumes and are pretty versatile.

I don't know anything about your amp or vintage Teac in general but it looks really nice. 35 wpc is nothing to sneeze at, with the right speakers in a medium-sized room it will get loud enough so that your neighbors can hear it.

Thanks ryuuoh and Roboturner. I think I'll see if I can talk him down on the current price of 280 for those DM750
